The New York Times featured research by Scott Wiltermuth and a colleague finding that guilt-prone people make excellent employees, contributing more than their fair share. On the other hand, those who suffer from more guilt may hinder their own and others' advancement by avoiding team assignments for fear of holding others back, the research showed. Those prone to guilt are "missing out on what could be really good partnerships," said Wiltermuth. New York Magazine and ScienceBlog also covered the story.
